Retro TD
AI-Generated Tower Defense
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Build mazes. Watch creeps puzzle through. Hold the line.
Retro TD is a hexagonal-arrow tower defense game. Place towers along the path, upgrade between waves, and survive against creeps that follow the arrows you've drawn. Tight, decision-heavy play — no filler, no grind.
AI-GENERATED LEVELS
Describe a shape — spiral, figure-8, knot, hourglass, twin loop — and the game generates a new level matching it. Each generation uses one credit; the Starter Pack includes 4, and you can top up when you want more.

• Four tower types with directional aim-lock
• A radial build menu that keeps your finger out of the action
• Game Center high-wave leaderboards on every level
• Reduced Motion option in Settings
• Portrait, single-handed play
IN-APP PURCHASES
